Together with The Science Communication Media Collaborative Grand Challenge Initiative and , The Curb Center is proud to introduce the Vanderbilt Eco-Grief Initiative, a collaborative inquiry into the emotional landscapes of living through climate change.
Eco-grief is a term for the complex emotions—sorrow, guilt, terror, and complicity, among others—that consideration of the climate crisis and environmental degradation evoke. The Initiative, which centers artistic responses to climate change, grows out of the recognition that the feelings surrounding the evolving crisis and the difficulty of achieving consensus on how to address it are often overwhelming, making necessary conversations challenging to manage. Through theatre performances, a visual art exhibition, and guest speakers, the Eco-Grief Initiative aims to catalyze emotional reckoning as an avenue to candid dialogue, innovation, and lasting impact.
